Horrific. So sorry to hear this. Sending much love and strength to everyone in Tumbler Ridge and beyond.

Hit a cord? Do you mean “struck a chord”? Or is this the UK version of this saying?

Yup.

Is love willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then love is not omnipotent.
Is love able, but not willing?
Then love is malevolent.
Is love both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is love neither able nor willing?
Then why call it love?

Good luck!!

One obvious improvement would be operating plows at more than 5 km/hr. Edmonton operates the SLOWEST plows I have ever seen - of course it takes weeks to deal with snow! Just drop the blade and drive…

Man, that Roslovic line looked so dangerous for long stretches tonight. Will those eye-popping plays start to turn into actual scoring if the line stays together?

Nah - that’s just rich in terms of money, which is the least of all ways to be rich.

Seems an unnecessary (and unnecessarily unkind) comment after a very entertaining season.

What a remarkable tribute. Millions of people just remembered how rich life can be with a great friend, and how glorious long-term friendships are. Thank you for sharing - sorry for your great loss.

You could reach out to the Highlands Historical Society for suggested contractors and specialists.

Wow.

It does seem like the “improvements” made do this election have not made voting easier, faster or more efficient.

What a story! Who knew?

A fire burns near the Stelco steel plant in East Edmonton.

Heavy smoke from a fire between Edmonton and Sherwood Park today. Appliances at a recycling centre are burning, according to the County of Strathcona - fire is under control. Heavy smoke was drifting NE towards Fort Saskatchewan. #yeg #fire #strathconacounty

Fun day at the ball park! The Edmonton Riverhawks survived a near-disastrous 9th inning and defeated Victoria 8-7 to advance to the championship series. Be there Tuesday - RE/MAX Field, and kids tickets are only $2!! #yeg #edmriverhawks #edmonton

Aeronautics team flies over downtown Edmonton.

Huge shout out to the Canadian Snowbirds for treating downtown Edmonton to 20 minutes of ‘just-because’ formation flying this afternoon. Lawn chairs lined the valley for this aerial treat. #yeg #snowbirds #edmonton #aviation

Sucks to lose O’Reilly but a Hobie Baker winner ready to play is a good return, I guess. Don’t know as much about him.

Perfect. Turns out Oilers’s fans have the same obsession.

4 in 5 years is a dynasty. 😉

Dynasty used to mean something more than two in a row, didn't it? Not to quibble - disappointed Oilers fan here, and full marks to Florida, but I'm curious. I always felt "dynasty" needed at least three years in a row...

Shadow show.
Abstraction distraction.
Perfection detection.

I saw my first bear at Elk Island about 5 years ago. Crazy thing is that I was the third car in line at the main gate and I saw it in my side mirror walking behind my car. It crossed the road and climbed the fence before I could even roll down the window for a better look.

You could speak with a hardware store that sells fencing, as they sometimes install things they sell (kitchens, flooring, etc).

Such a boring game for about 65 minutes and about 15 minutes of chaotic brilliance. Crazy overtime. Back to back shutouts for Skinner, and ‘Never in doubt.’ #LetsGoOilers

But thrilling. Absolutely loving this.

Can. Not. 🫣

Such a beautiful spring evening in Edmonton last night. This is Hermitage Park in east Edmonton.

Albertans didn’t even show enough support for our own pension fund or police force. This would be a very one-sided vote, and it just might shut the issue down once and for all.

The opposite of a goaltending duel is duelling goals, I guess. Five scorers on five Oilers goals through two periods but we have given up 3. #OffenceFirst #LetsGoOilers
